: Discuss the connection between political parties and trade unions in Jamaica and one other Caribbean country, showing areas of similarity and difference. A Political Party is a political organization that normally seeks to influence government and government policy, this is done by nominating their own candidates, trying to seat them in political office. Parties often express an ideology or vision of specific views and participate in electoral campaigns and protest actions. The emergence of trade unions, political parties and leading personalities. With the socioeconomic problems of the 1930s, it came as no surprise that there was widespread labour unrest. Below is a summary of the disturbance that occurred throughout the 1930s. In 1937, riots in Barbados began because of Clement Payne (Trinidadian). He told the people that they were being oppressed because of their race and he urged them to organise themselves into unions. Payne kept several meetings in Bridgetown and other parts of the island. The authorities decided to put a stop to these developments by deporting Payne on the grounds that he had given false information to immigration officers when he entered the island (Barbados). Payne had declared that he was a Barbadian. The authorities said he was Trinidadian. The truth is that Payne had been born in Trinidad of Barbadian parents. Grantley Adams appealed against the deportation, which still went ahead. Riots broke out in Bridgetown and on sugar estates, automobiles were pushed into the sea, stores were ransacked and the police volunteers killed 14 and wounded 47 of the rioters. Grantley Adams emerged as labour leader and the Barbados Progressive League was formed. Trade union laws were also passed.

Labour unrest in Jamaica began in 1937 as well, when a demonstration of unemployed workers and ex-servicemen in Kingston was broken up by the police using batons. Then, in January 1938, violence erupted at the Frome Sugar Factory owned by Tate and Lyle, and when strikers attacked the estates officials, the police opened fire killing four and wounding nine. The disorder spread to the Kingston waterfront where a general strike was called. Mobs paraded the streets attacking shops and cars and the police again used force and eight persons were killed, 171 wounded and over 700 arrested. The leading labour figure in the Jamaican riots was Alexander Bustamante. These waves of riots and strikes causing death and injury to so many attracted worldwide attention. Consequences of the disturbance

The following can be regarded as the most important consequences of the disturbances of the 1930s. a) Mass political parties were formed, designed in conjunction with trade unions to press for political, social and economic advancement. Examples of these were the People's National Party under Norman Manley in Jamaica and the Barbados Progressive League under Grantley Adams in Barbados. b) The labour unrest led to the formation of trade unions to enable concerted action among workers to achieve higher wage and better conditions of work. One must remember that trade unions were not recognised in many territories before 1930. This meant they did not have much power to protect the interest and improve the working conditions of workers. Within five years after the riots, there were 58 registered trade unions with a total membership of 65,000 workers in the West Indies. Some of the many benefits brought about by the formation of trade unions were: * Sick leave

...﻿Literature Review- Gun Control
Gun control has been a very controversial issue in American history in part, because America is the most armed nation in the world, with American citizens owning about 300 million fire arms. In fact, this is even more than a quarter of the whole world’s firearms. Besides, Guns have always been a hobby of Americans because of the gun culture that is unlike other states. American gun culture has survived since the earliest days of the republic because hunting has been a popular pastime, and also because guns were a means of protecting its citizens from tyrannical government. In addition, various militias have also played a major role in gun culture in terms of defending citizens from criminals. Therefore, gun control is often considered one of the most controversial subjects in the American polity. There have been lots of arguments about gun control but most importantly arguments have related to the Second Amendment. One of the reason Americans own so many firearms is because of the Second Amendment which states, “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” (Rauch J). The ability of American citizens to have a gun and use them will continue to be a point of argument if the Second Amendment doesn’t change or intends to have regulations because it guarantees the right to own firearms. Even NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre declared...

...3. Below please find the population pyramid of a country. Write an essay to discuss:
a) Fertility and mortality of the country;
b) The status of women in this country;
c) The level of economic development of the country;
d) The major problems likely to be facing the country at present;
e) The likely future direction of demographic change that this country will take and why you believe it would be so;
f) The possible location of this country.
Population Structure Affecting Economic Development of a Developing Country
A population pyramid can reflect the demographic changes of a country (Yaukey, 1985). The demographic change includes fertility, mortality, age structure, sex ratio and status of women (Yaukey, 1985). Therefore, some long-term trends, such as fertility and mortality can be shown by the population pyramid while the population pyramid can also show the short term impact of baby-booms, population policies, migration, epidemics, etc (Clarke,1972).
Fertility is one of the most important criteria to distinguish between developed countries and undeveloped countries (Clarke,1972). Fertility refers to the the natural capability of giving life. As a measure, "fertility rate" is the number of children born per couple, person or population (Bras,2008). The base of the population pyramid is wide but narrow on the top with a triangular shape. From the population pyramid , it is shown that there is around 11,000,000...

The nexus of crime and politics in the Caribbean has been the subject of many studies. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the theoretical frameworks that explain this phenomenon and recommend how best the problem can be addressed in the interest of the region’s development.
Introduction / Statement of Problem
The propagation of crime in the Caribbean has continued to be an increasing concern as its intensification seems to be constant, like a cancerous growth, continually increasing past levels previously seen. Security practitioners in the Caribbean have found themselves significantly challenged with the formidable task of controlling the escalating levels of crime in the region.
The Commonwealth Caribbean (referring to the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean region) has the highest homicide rate in the world. This starkly contrasts with many other geographic regions of the world and with the Spanish and French speaking Caribbean countries of our region, having surpassed three times the global mean prior to 2002...

Causes of the Revolution:
i. Extreme mistreatment of slaves
ii. Coloureds desire for racial equality with the whites
Was the only successful slave uprising in the Caribbean
Independence in 1804
There was a high death toll after the revolution
The economy was ruined:
i. The large estates division into smallholdings resulted in inability to produce enough products to be exported for trade.
ii. The whites left Haiti and took their knowledge of sugar production and their capital (money) with them.
iii. The coffee industry became increasingly popular and Haiti did not produce coffee.
iv. Expenses to repair damage infrastructure
v. Agriculture plots eroded during the fight and resulted high loss of crop
The impact of the Hatian Revolution on the Caribbean:
i. Cuba and Jamaica benefitted from the economic devastation of Haiti; Coffee and sugar became popular and they were able to meet the market demand
ii. Haiti controlled their conjoined country Santo Domingo from 1822 -1844
iii. Inspired rebellions in British territories; 1816 Barbados Emancipation War
iv. The revolution was used by Abolitionists to highlight the ills of slavery
v. Whites became fearful throughout the Caribbean; government were cruel to Maroons
The Barbados Emancipation War, Bussa Rebellion, 1816
Commenced on Easter Sunday, 14 April 1816 around 8:30 p.m on Bailey Plantation in St....

...﻿In the Caribbean there has been a drastic shift in the relationship between men and women. Men, who were traditionally seen to be the head of the household, now have their roles taken over by the women in Caribbean society. Due to men failing to live up to their responsibilities, especially in the economic sense, the women are forced to take advantage of education, not only to better themselves but to also prove their indispensability in the social and economic framework of the society. These newly found duties are coupled with their own traditional roles as mother, nurturers and care. Women are now major contributors to their society. Women these days are more independent than in the past. There is a greater demand more from their lives and they now choose how they want to live. This could be a reason for the increase in divorces over the last half a century. This independence has also meant more single women. This shift in the relationship between men and women in the Caribbean could also be as a result of women’s movements where the view of the hegemonic femininity has affected the way in which most women are viewing their life and are becoming more like men. Women were now doing male oriented subjects such as physics, technical drawing etc., which might increase the job opportunities for these women and more women have taken advantage equal rights policies which would allow them to be treated equal to males. This paper will...

...﻿Economic and Social Problems In The Caribbean
Unemployment
Globalization has contributed significantly to unemployment in the Caribbean. With the removal trade barriers, some industries have not been able to compete globally. The lack adequate skills that are required for the new industrial paradigm for example, information technology skills have also contributed to the problem of unemployment.
A high level of unemployment among the young people of theCaribbean may results in various social problems, as survival may depend on illegal activities.
Reasons for unemployment
-firms e.g. multinationals closing down
-lack of investment to create new businesses
-lack of skills training
Population density
Population density Refers to the average number of people living on every square kilo meter in a country. The formula used for calculating population density is:
Density of population
= Total population
Area (sq. km.)
Very high population densities can indicate overpopulation. This occurs when the facilities in a location, are not able to serve the number of persons in that location. This will cause heavy competition for jobs, schools, health facilities etc.
Migration
Caribbean people migrate to first world countries in search of opportunities such as employment and education. When skilled and professional workers migrate, Caribbean countries may experience shortages in critical areas such...

...Question 2)
In Julie Ann McMullin’s book “Age, Gender and Work”, McMullin examines how women and older workers are disproportionally represented in the IT labour force. In McMullin’s book, she writes that most of the IT firms that participates in the WANE study, have overwhelming numerical superiority by younger males. A large number of IT firms, have developed different forms of gender regimes and ageism inequalities, because of the overwhelming numerical superiority of younger male employees.
Masculinist gender regime is the regular, patterned gender arrangements. The Regime includes patterned discrepancies in rewards and privileges connected to gender. Masculinist gender regimes, dictate almost every aspect of workplace culture and workplace interaction in IT firms. The composition of young, white, educated males definitely creates a certain youthful and playful culture in an IT firm. In “Age, Gender and Work”, McMullin suggests that most IT firms have workplace cultures “geared towards male interests and activities.” (McMullin 2012, 40). In these male dominant firms, co-workers relate with each other informally and often share common practices, traditions, attitudes and values. The workplace culture, created by the predominant presence of younger men tends to have an effect on how many women, if any, are employed in an IT firm. The women employed by these firms, are forced to adapt to the culture of the workplace, “Where individual women occupy key managerial or...
